Your First Mod - Page 3

When I got my 08' 250r...the first thing I did was take off the ugly tag holder and customize it. Now it’s small and pretty.

Post up yo.

Done at the same time... removed the big honkin reflectors off the front fork guards, AND replaced the front tire.

Why? The reflectors were kinda ugly (and I'm going to do reflective rim tape), and the front tire was baldish.

My current bike lost the 6lb chunk of ugly that the license plate mounted to... her ass looks MUCH nicer now

My first mods are always the exhaust. It's not necessarily about "more power", I simply don't want my bikes to sound like the damn sewing machines. Gotta release some of that character.

That happened to mine a little after I put the frame sliders on. Cut that bitch in half...right below the tag mount...

First thing I did to my Tuono... before I even registered or insured it... was bring it to the track & do a track day

Then, after pushing the front through turn 1a I ditched the Bridgestones for some Pirelli's.
